I was right and maybe I was wrong

From the saved files... I was apparently working in this in week three and never posted it. So here it is, unedited, as a snapshop of what I was thinking at that point.

(Hey, it backdated to September, although it's nearly Christmas.)

There are some things that stand out to me after week three.

Man, do I feel like a genius for not having any Saints on my fantasy teams. I also feel good about taking chances on Minnesota and Green Bay. But on all three of these, I don't recall blogging my POV.

I did blog about some others though...

I was right on Leinart. I hope you avoided drafting him.

I was right on the Bills players. I got Lynch at a value for one team but anyone expecting #1 play from Lynch, Lee Evans or JP Losman are as disappointed as I thought they'd be.

My Kitna rankings look right on. He's leading the league in yardage and is 5th or 6th overall on Yahoo right now.

I was wrong on Reggie Brown. He's not ready to be a #1 WR and maybe that's McNabb's fault.

I was wrong on McNabb too. Despite the fact he was on my do not draft unless he falls way too far list, I still had him ranked too high. This weekend's stats are a fluke due to some incredibly poor coverage on the part of Detroit.

I was wrong on Steven Jackson, too. I think he'll bounce back some after returning from his groin injury, but the loss of the OT and the injuries to and depletion of the St. Louis WR corps are too much for the Rams to overcome.

I was wrong on Grossman. He shows flashes of brilliance, but I think something's just wrong between his ears.

The jury is out but signs are good for Ronnie Brown and Carnell Williams. Both should be values at their average draft position when all is said and done.

The jury is out but signs are good for Thomas Jones. His first couple games were against stout defenses. He run for more than 100 last week. That should be more the norm.

The jury is out on Cutler. He isn't as good as some were saying, but he's not as inconsistent as I was thinking he would be either.

The jury is out on Brandon Jacobs. "That didn't take long," the Bombers told me after Jacobs got hit in the knee. I'm still thinking it was a fluke that could have happened to anyone. When he comes back, if he gets 5o yards and a TD a game, I'll consider this a good mid-round pick. Unfortunately, the Giants are about to implode. That can't be good for any of them.

The jury is out on the New England D. I got nervous about my previously number 1 ranked defense a couple weeks before the season. There were some injuries and I didn't like the 'vibes' I was getting from the media. But they have played very well at times and they're the #7 Yahoo defense, good for about 3 points per game difference from the #2 defense, Pittsburgh.
